Sandra was kind enough to feature my bears in the latest issue of Australian Bear Creations.  I haven't seen the mag as yet, as it's not out in NZ  Australian Bear Creations was the magazine that started me on my bear making journey way back in 1997 - the first bear I ever sewed came from one of the very first issues.    Back in the day, I studied those magazines inside and out absolutely in awe of the bears within its pages and never imagined that I would be designing my own bears, let alone having them in the magazine.

Having been questioning some life choices and feeling a lack of direction in the last few weeks, I guess I can actually feel a sense of achievement! I and am feeling a tad guilty as I haven't devoted nearly enough time to my bears lately.  :redface:  :redface: I should go home and sew tonight, as it's Friday here, but it's the perfect sunny day (a rare event here) and the beach will be calling me when I get home tonight.

Anyhoo....as my workmates looked at me blankly when I told them my news, I just thought I'd share here!  bear_tongue

Congratulations Melissa that is wonderful news, your bears are so adorable.

Now all we have to do is wait until Bear creations makes it over the water to New Zealand.
Amazing to think that Paula has got her copy over the other side of the world.
